Samuel knew what Nicole was thinking when he saw her sunk in thought. Samuel tightly held Nicole in his arms and whispered, "Don't worry. I'm here. No one else will get a chance to hurt you again. Nicole only smiled and didn't say anything. Samuel knew that things needed to go slowly. The other passengers were complaining. Nicole was a little worried. In that case, when would they get out of here?. Just then, a jeep drove over and stopped in front of Nicole and Samuel. "Mr. Green, madam, Mr. Wood asked us to drive over. Nicole looked blank. Before Nicole knew who Mr. Wood was, Samuel took the car key and said to Nicole, "Let's go. Get in the car. When the other passengers saw that Samuel had a car, they became friendly forthwith. "Dude, how about we give you money and you take us with you?". Nicole looked at them, most of whom were strangers. Even if Nicole was on a bus with them, she didn't pay much attention. However, Samuel directly pulled Nicole into the car and said coldly, "Sorry, we have something to do. We won't be able to take you guys with us. There will be tour buses passing by later. You'd better wait. With that, Samuel didn't wait for their reactions, directly closed the car window, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away in haste. Nicole fastened her seat belt and didn't comment on Samuel's action. After driving for a while, Samuel asked in a low voice, "Do you think I'm cruel to do that?". "No! We should be cautious when we're out. Those tourists are a mixed lot. They don't know each other. It'll be awful if they get in the jeep and have a dispute. Nicole gestured. Samuel felt that Nicole had grown. Nicole would have been very kind to take those tourists with her. But she didn't say anything just now and actually looked at it from this point of view. Samuel wondered whether he should feel relieved or regretful or not. Nicole naturally couldn't tell what Samuel was thinking. Nicole felt sick. She felt bad about her behavior. However, Nicole knew that it was the best way to reduce the damage. The car drove into the nearby village. Nicole's eyes were so sharp that she saw the bus Samuel and she had took. Nicole pulled Samuel and gestured, "We won't stop here. Let's just drive over. Obviously, Samuel also saw the bus. Samuel nodded and directly drove past the bus driver. Because the window was slightly open, Nicole and Samuel listened to the driver calling someone and saying, "They ran away. We looked for them but couldn't find them. I'm waiting here. I think they'll come to this village. Nicole had a thoughtful look. Fortunately, Samuel was thoughtful. Otherwise, they wouldn't know what would happen. Sure enough, it was definitely related to Soseph. After all, Nicole and Samuel didn't have many acquaintances here, and Soseph had always been in conflict with them. Thinking that Soseph would always eye on herself with hostility during the travel, Nicole felt awfully uncomfortable. But Nicole didn't want to say that to Samuel. Samuel was also thinking about this, but he didn't say it, afraid that Nicole would think too much. Samuel drove silently and Nicole didn't say anything. Soon they entered another village. This village was very ordinary and there weren't many people. There was a small fair at the entrance of the village and it sold fruits of the season. Nicole saw salak she liked and mangosteen. She couldn't help but pull Samuel. Samuel stopped the car and whispered, "Wait in the car. I'll get off and buy it for you

If anything special happens, just leave me alone and drive away. With that, Samuel handed the car key to Nicole. Nicole paused for a moment and didn't say anything. After Samuel got off the car, Nicole suddenly felt a little nervous. 'Didn't I come here for a tour?'. 'Why am I always so panicky?'. Nicole didn't like this feeling. The unique mark on the car reminded Nicole of something. Mr. Wood? . F inn? . Nicole still remembere d Finn hurt herself and the Don family, and felt blue. Suddenly, a text message came in from a strange phone number. "I know you don't like seeing me and don't want to use me, but Night Elf Empire is yours. Ma'am, I'm just acting act as a deputy for now. As long as you give the order, everyone in Night Elf Empire will listen to you, and I will leave at any time. I know that I can't make up for what I' ve done to you. It's useless to apologize. But please let me make it up for you. Leave Soseph to me. Mr. Green and you can have fun. Don't worry. Nicole looked at the text message on her phon e and felt extremely sad. Nicole had truly regarded Finn as her friends. Nicole had even risked everything to save Finn, but she didn't e xpect that Finn would be still on Laurel's side in the end. Nicole couldn't complain. After all , Laurel raised Finn. But Nicole couldn't forgive Finn. Because Finn betrayed her. Nicole constantly recalled w hat happened when she was with Fin n. She felt sad thinking about it. Nicole dir ectly answered a text message. "Stop texting me. You don't have to meddle in my affairs. Once something happens, i t's hard to pretend that it hasn't happened. I can at most stop contacting you. We no lo nger have anything to do with each other. I don't want to cross paths with you anymore. After texting, Nicole immediately blocked this number. Finn couldn't help b ut smile bitterly when he saw Nicole's text message. Was it impossibl e for Finn and Nicole to be friends anymore? . Finn tried to send another tex t message to Nicole, but when his p hone prompted, Finn felt sad again. Nicole was the first woman Finn had a crush on. But now, F inn and Nicole were not even friends. This feeling would stay w ith Finn and Finn would live in regret for the rest of his life. Nicole di dn't care what Finn thought. Nicole sent Olivia a Twitt er message and asked if Olivia c ould transfer some money to her. Olivia didn't say anything an d directly transferred the money f rom JH Mall's account to Nicole's. Samu el also c ame back. Samuel got ba gs of fruits, whic h surprised Nicole. "Why did you bu y so much?" . Nicol e gesticula ted to ask. Samuel smiled and said, "The fr uits here are very cheap and ripe. H ave a taste. They're very delicious. As Samuel spo ke, Samuel peeled a salak for Nicole. Just as Nicole was ab out to reach out to take i t, Samuel avoided her hand. "Open your mouth. Don't get your hands dirty or you 'll have to wash your hands. Nico le felt em barrassed. "Open your mouth. What? Are you still waiting for m e to feed you? I don't mind. Before Samuel could finish his words, Nicole immediately opened her mouth to grab the salak. However, Nicole was too fast and too f lustered. Her lips and tongue touched Samuel's fingers accidentally. Samuel and Nicole w ere stunned

It was as if an electric cu rrent was passing through their bodies, causing them to tremble. Nicole almost choked on the s alak and coughed violently to reli eve her embarrassment and shyness. Samuel hurriedly patted Nicole's back and said with a smile, "Eat slowly. Nobody wants to take it from you. Is it delicious?" . "Y es!" . Nico le hurried ly nodded. Hearing that , Samuel peeled an other one at once. "H ave one more. Nicole was a little embarrassed. Right at this moment, an aunt walked past Nicole and Samuel. Seein g them, she immediately said loudly. "Wow, young people nowadays are so romantic. Nicole' s face insta ntly flushed. Nicole hurriedly gestured, "No, I'm goo d. You get in the car. Samuel d idn't care wha t others said. Samuel draw a piece of tissue and gentl y wiped Nicole's mouth. Samuel smiled and sa id, "What's the rush? We're not in a hurry. Nicole was a little shy, but now, many peddlers here were looking over. Samuel was wiping Nicole's mouth so gently. Nicole 's heart was pounding and she wished she could run away quickly. Wh at was g oing on? . 'I've been married for a long time and I'm a mother of two children, so w hy can't I suppress my crush on Samuel?' . Nicole tried her best to be less shy, but she failed. It was part of her own nature. Nicole pulled Samuel up and closed the car d oor, but it was as if she couldn't keep herself f rom the curious eyes and teasing voices of others. " Just D rive. Nicole shyly pinc hed Samuel. "G od, it hurts!" . Sam uel yell ed hard. "Honey, it's said that beating show s affection and scolding shows love. You beat me and scold me. So are we in love?" . Samuel learned this somewhere. He said it so freely. Nicole recognized that she was no match for Sam uel. So she blushed and threw the car key to him, an d then acted as if she wanted to get out of the car. "Alright, alright then. I won't ta lk anymore. I'll drive right now. You'r e my dear Mathilde. It's all up to you. Samuel took th e car key and hurrie dly started the car. Nicole' s face turned even redder. 'Who wan ts to be his d ear Mathilde?' . Nicole looked away and looked at the bustling little fair out side. Nicole really wanted to go down and take a look, but the vill age was too close to the bus. She didn't want to cause any trouble. After Nicole and Samuel left the village, Samuel asked , "Honey, where are we going?" . "Go to the nea rby 4S shop. We need to change the car!" . Ni cole ge stured. Sam uel was confused. Samuel looked at the jeep and asked in puzzleme nt, "Isn't this car good?" . Nicole paused and then said, "I won't trust s omeone who has betrayed me once. I don't want to b e disturbed by someone I don't like when I travel. Samu el got it at once. Nicole must ha ve known that this c ar was sent by Finn. Would Nicole never trust someon e who betrayed her? . Fortunately, Samuel didn't cheat Nicole in any way. Only now did Sa muel know that Nicole drew the line there. Nicole could spoil and change someone at any t ime. Once someone crossed her line, Nicole would get away from him even if she suffered from great pain. In that case, was Samuel the one who Nico le would get away from? . Recalling Nicole's resolu tion to divorce not long ago, Samuel couldn't help but worry
